So there's this guy I like, let's call him S. He's 16, almost 17, not that that's important, just thought i'd add it in.
I mostly know him through school trips we've both been on. The first was a year ago, and although we didn't talk much then, he still seemed to be fond of me, always saying hi to me, trying to start conversations and asking me to come hang out with him and his friends.
Then he always say hi and hugs me if he sees me out.
Then the most recent school trip, which I only got back from a couple days ago, was when I started to fall for him. Although he is a flirt with everyone, he was always teasing me, comforting me if I was a bit down, putting his arm around me, walking beside me, trying items of his clothing on me, putting accessories on me in shops, taking pics of me, standing beside me in pictures.
We ended up flirting a lot, sharing food, sitting with each other, constantly making eye contact and smiling at each other when no one was watching. It was like we had some kind of connection, when other people were talking we would make eye contact with each other and smile (or nto smile sometimes), as if we were sharing some kind of private joke.
After a while, my friends sensed that there was something going on between us, and left us on our own. S had obviously wanted them to, because when they said they wanted to leave he said. "Okay, you go. Me and M will stay here." and then he asked me to come sit next to him. So we sat and it wasn't uncormfortable at all. He kept looking at me in a kind of intrigued way, like he couldn't quite work me out. I made a comment about him, and then, he suddenly seemed to get a little more serious, like he cared what I thought about him, and asked if he really appeared that way, then tried to explain why. But he started to kind of get confused with it, it was really cute. Then he studied me for longer and we made eye contact, and he started saying what he thought about me, which was along the lines of, I act innocent but I'm mysterious and he can tell just by looking into my eyes that there's something more to me, that he thinks I'm a bit of a bad girl, but I'm hard to work out. I never gave him a straight answer to that, just kind of smirked or smiled and made eye contact and then would change the subject, which I hope keeps the mystery. Then he bought me a drink (:
When we were with everyone again he mostly talked to me and joked about, and once when talking about something he loved and found we had in common, said, "Ohmygod, I think I'm in love!". I know he wasn't being serious, but there must be something to it.
However, after that, he didn't really speak to me on the flight home, apart from saying hi every now and then, though sometimes I'd catch him watching me. Oh, also he asked for my number and gave me his.
He hasn't contacted me since the trip, except for saying "snap." next to one of my facebook updates.
What should I do? I really want to get to know him more and get him to like me more, but I don't know how. I have his facebook and number, but I don't ever really see him. Any ideas?
Also I should add that he is generally quite a flirty guy. It's just that to me, he seemed genuinely interested.
Thanks, x

Sounds like S is interested in getting to know you, but doesn't want to seem to eager. Give him some time to come to you. it is possible that he is into you but doens't know if he's ready for a relationship just yet. He could be shy around diffrent type of people, and this is why, back from your trip,he is acting diffrent around certain people. Try going up to him and start making conversations. He could be waiting for you to make the first move to prove if your brave enough to be by his side.
It could talk longer than you may want but if you keep your head up straight and show your not just waiting after him, I'm certain things are going to turn out for the best. [ CueTheLights's advice column | Ask CueTheLights A Question ]
